May 14, 2025,Apulien: Castel del Monte

A beautiful, easy circular hike from the Agriturismo Sei Carri through rocky pastureland, olive groves, past old stone sheds, and through an oak forest to the World Heritage Site of Castel del Monte. An imposing castle, restored after being plundered since 1900, it is now in remarkable condition.
